Everyday mornings and evenings. Calls range anywhere between 10-40 mins per call. We do miss a few times a week. So thankful that I get to do this, specially seeing parents everyday on the phone. I hate to imagine how things were before video calls were a thing. Ofcourse there were Skype and a few other avenues but life has become so much more easier with these latest tech of the current times.

Everytime I work on the weekend I get into some sort of fight with my spouse. Anyone else get annoyed when their spouse constantly asks you when you’ll be done working, or asks how much longer you have to work. It annoys the hell out of me. I don’t want be working on a Sunday anymore than my spouse wants me to be working. But I have to. I don’t need reminded that I am disappointing my family in addition to working on the weekend. Am I alone in thinking this? Am I wrong to get so annoyed?
